[33] Debiparna Chakraborty of MovieWeb wrote, "Anvita Dutt’s 2022 psychological drama Qala holds up a mirror to misogyny through a neo-expressionist lens with its distorted shadows and angles.

From Amit Trivedi’s music to Siddharth Diwan’s cinematography, Qala weaves a beautiful but harrowing and tragic tale of loss, grief, and desire that starts off in the snowy moors of Shimla and ends in a burnished manor of Calcutta.

"[39] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India wrote, "A fictitious period drama about a playback singer, Qala treads an unfamiliar, unspoken path in terms of relationships.

It looks beyond the obvious to explore the underlying complexities of a mother-daughter equation, a rare sight in Hindi cinema.

Qala dares to observe the raw, even ugly insides of a seemingly normalised relationship with heart aching longing and regret at its core.
